Oh god yeah, I totally understand. It's certainly do-able, but in the middle of January it's extremely frustrating. I was trying to replace the distributor cap earlier and couldn't get the leads to come off! They were taking my whole weight! I've decided to cut the leads off and replace them. Another £50 thrown to the wind.
I think I will "donate" it to my dad, who needs a runabout for a little while
I never worked out how to do photos on this site, it's pretty old school.
i'm sitting here wondering if i should just trade in for this...
